Yesterday I travelled from leafy Cheshire to suburban Bracknell to visit elderly parents, cut their overgrown lawn, do some stuff for them and have a good chinwag.
Took the decision to use the car - Swedish barge!!
During the journey there and back using M6/toll motorway/M42/M40 etc I was able to make a few observations and occasionally experience the onset of a few DK honorary yorkshireman rants.
First observation.
My perception was there is a massive reduction in HGV traffic.
Not just a few less, humongous numbers less.
Travelled down from 07:00 and returned late.
M6 in particular seemed to have hardly any from what I'm used to seeing on this journey.
I'd have thought HGV traffic was a pretty good indicator of industrial activity.
If so from yesterday's HGV activity we're on the floor!!
